The song "Sayonara" is an Indonesian children's song that is usually sung when children are in elementary school or kindergarten. It's very interesting because there are three languages that are used in this song: of course Indonesian, but also English and Japanese. Granted, Japanese is represented only by the word "Sayonara", but one still must admit that there isn't another children's song in the world that uses as many languages at the same time, right?

Who Are The Writers?

Cody

Cody is a 19 year old male that lives in America and is currently studying Korean, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), and Spanish. His main focus is Korean but he is also interested in Japanese and thinks Chinese sounds cool. Spanish is there because it is required for his college and he kind of likes it (a little bit). In his spare time, he likes to listen to music, watch movies, play video games, practice his languages (duh~), and Jog.

Nicholas

Nicholas is 20 year old Filipino male living in the Gold Coast, Australia. He has called himself "The Language Freak," and most of his close friends probably agree that this name is appropriate. Aside from his native languages English and Tagalog, he can speak pretty good Mandarin and Japanese, and can survive with some Korean and Cantonese. He hopes to learn some Spanish too! The only thing Nick enjoys more than language learning is eating, and karaoke!
